I heard hscs opened a big Houston office but I see most job postings are for Chicago/Richardson. How flexible is the company in allowing you to work in a different office?

Since when did HCSC start allowing employees to make up their own titles for public use? Chief growth officer? Market presidents? Directors who are not directors?

Curious how coffee badging is kept track of when there is no exit badging. Is there additional monitoring going on? Does anyone know how this is kept track of?

I’m curious just how much reviewing actually happened during the job mapping process of the Cigna transition because what do you mean you are changing exemption and job titles 6 months in?! Maybe if Cigna HR was actually consulted instead of thinking... — read more 

Lots of money dumped into the new brand. Can it compete dollar for dollar with the Blue brand?

Historically it has been on time in June. Isn’t it odd it has not been released to the public ???

Not including a handful of IT, the recent leadership rearrangement or Cigna folks that didn’t met HCSC requirements for rehire, has anyone actually been laid off?

Anyone else feel like we are being forced to celebrate the acquisition when it comes with strife, low morale, hiring freezes, rumors of RIFs. Etc etc. Even the Cigna folks would rather not be here. Who sold them this con? Trump?

Was anything automated to do releases at Cigna?

I've been with the company for 15 years and I don't recognize HCSC anymore. We need to put the power back in our hands. They trot out these surveys to give us the illusion of involvement, to make us feel like we have a say, but it's just a way for... — read more 

All managers received an email today from the laughably-named “Ethics” department, reminding us that actual productivity is secondary to butt-in-seat time, because Momo has promised the Chicago politicos that he’ll fill up his beautiful building with... — read more 

Since the GOP's OBBB is stopping ACA subsidies, BCBSIL submitted a 27% rate hike for 2026 and BCBSTX submitted a 21% rate hike for 2026... do we have any details on the impact to staff reduction in the retail-supporting areas?

What’s happening? Layoffs??? New leaders moved???

I think we all can see there is a certain line of business, Medicare based roles, that are being filled, and other areas are unable to fill positions left open for months, and longer. The company has made/is making changes that make me think they’re... — read more 

Anyone else seeing the repeating pattern? We cannot backfill. We are told hiring is frozen but we see that it isn’t, because some people are being promoted who have no business doing so. Some people have busted a gut on major projects that succeeded... — read more 

Every reorg means fewer people doing more, while more higher-ups show up just to bark orders. Every single time - no exception. It’s been a steady downhill slide for years, and somehow they still act surprised when morale hits rock bottom.

I do not understand the value of some roles in IT like PLTLs and ESLs. They just pretend to manage a bunch of managers on their own and provide no real value besides throwing their weight around. Seems like, every time there is a reorg, they create... — read more 

We have had two recent major disasters both in Texas and in New Mexico, and the company is completely silent about this. We have become absolutely heartless greedy monsters.

And there you go… your national ‘rebranding’ of the Cigna people and products.

Well that was anticlimactic. The new brand launch we’ve been waiting for was just an unused trademark we picked up in the Cigna deal, with a new font and some hilarious stock photography.

Any thoughts on how this will affect HCSC?

Real situations you notice that are sadly true but funny because you can’t believe it.

as a long-term employee, I have seen many different versions of our human resources department. However the rumors and announcements surrounding layoffs are not even being addressed. I as well as others have had water cooler talk and the consensus is... — read more 

Anyone else curious about how Cigna employees are going to integrate into HCSC? It seems very divided still… Anyone heard anything about joining/merging of departments or teams?

Time to start wearing our masks again.

It’s about the same cycle we’ve seen everywhere — executives show up, drain what they can, and leave the rest of us to deal with the fallout. They collect their bonuses, their parachutes, their next opportunity, while the company gets weaker, good... — read more 

After nearly a decade with HCSC, I feel obligated to warn anyone considering staying here long-term. The environment has deteriorated to the point where even survivors of the layoffs are miserable. They've eliminated entire teams but didn't... — read more 

Reality check time for sources.

Been told it's not leading to layoffs till all the contractors are gone. Can anybody confirm if this is correct or not?

We are grieving the loss of our leader. Greg Brown is a true example of the company’s core values. We need answers! His kindness and positivity trickled down to his leadership that trickled down to employees. Hopefully this loss won’t affect the... — read more 

As the new person, I noticed the silence right away. No one talks in the halls anymore. Meetings are just managers talking at us while everyone stares at their laptops. I made the mistake of suggesting a process improvement in my third week and got... — read more 

I see a pretty major reorg announcement just went out. Any thoughts? Anyone concerned this is a precursor to layoffs to come?

I am so over the coffee badgers and people who want to do the bare minimum. Your insistence on being slackers has kept near-constant attention on this literally years after the policies were implemented. It's your fault that HR has to keep pulling... — read more 

Anyone know what’s expected at the board meeting this month? I keep hearing it’s a major one, and that Maurice is out as President, and the vote is taking place this week. Also, possible approval for layoffs, or reorganization?

We were told to not come in to the offices today.

Anybody know what the big HR meeting was about today?

Through management it has been reported that all badge swipe reports will be pulled quarterly. Each employee is required to have 3 days in office. However, if you do not have an average of 2 days in the office for the past year when the report is... — read more
